Farsightedness is very common with kids. “The eyeball is still short, and not yet of normal size. Kids can still outgrow this and eventually develop good auto-focus mechanism,” says Dr. Bolinao. With high grades of farsightedness, the kids’ eyes converge or become cross-eyed as they focus. “So we give them proper glasses with their correct grade; this relaxes the auto-focusing mechanism of the eyes so they will be aligned.”
